Ugh...a yeah too late.
Last year they had to choose between the show's creator of Pierce and they kept Pierce.
Now that Dan Harmon is gone the other ahole doesn't even finish the season. Arghhhhhh it pisses me off.
Pierce became a 9th level laser lotus, which has no physical form. They should just have him as a lava lamp with a post-it note that says "Pierce" on it, a la his mother.
I can't count the reasons Pierce should stay.
(There aren't any.)
I guess there's an open spot for crazy Chang...
He didn't like the redemption and soul! He didn't like the bigotry either. I vaguely gather that he wanted Pierce to be a cool guy,or failing that, he really likes slapstick. Think of Pierce's bit with the ice cream machine - things like that.The thing is Pierce wasn't always as extreme as he became. I can understand the actor being upset with the direction of his character, because there had been moments in Season 2 of redemption and soul.
I didn't know about him wanting Pierce to be more unlikable. Interesting. But I was aware of the way he ruined the ending to the video game episode.
Unless the show gets a 5th season, it won't even matter much at all. Unless they didn't film an ending with him in it.I'm kinda bummed he is leaving.
How so?
Well man, won't be the same without him.
Hm. He's in every episode - including the season finale - except for the two that they haven't filmed yet. Not that big of a deal IMO. Hopefully the season finale has a good ending and the show doesn't get renewed for a fifth season.

He said he would only do this job until there was a cease-fire in Gaza.

Found a replacement. Pierce Hawthorne will now be played by a spinning poisonous knife machine.

Well we can reveal the truth now. Dan was Chevy. It was an Andy Kaufman Tony Clifton thing.
Hunter Covington @huntercovington
But I write for Chevy's character! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Does anyone know who Pastor Fred Phelps' agent is? #chevyreplacement

Seeing if John McCain is available for final two.
Tim Saccardo @TimSaccardo
My very first #Community joke way back in ep201 was a Pierce gag and there have been many more since. Was a super fun character to write for
Andy Bobrow @abobrow
First Dan, now Chevy. Who's going to yell at us?!

Guess it's official. Pierce Hawthorne will be sorely missed. Incredible character created by a gifted hurricane of an actor.
Kill off Pierce and at the funeral introduce his long lost brother...I am sure there is some other 80s movie star in desperate need of some money. I saw Matthew Brodericl appear often on TV lately...
yo he already has a long lost brother. And his name is Gus Fring.
Pierce should leave all his money to Chang.
Rich Chang would be an interesting twist for the character.
....FATHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!We need him in this show as well. Make it happen, Pierce's funeral!
...what? do you...what?Also, Harmon back for Community S5. Believe.
I hate how we've gotten to the point in this topic where cautious uncertainty is ridiculous and blind optimism is the norm.It will be better.
I think it is hilarious that you are taking the firing of a cast member more personally than any of the writers. How are they being insulting? The stuff about the character being fun to write for seemed genuine, and from there Bobrow just named random joke people for replacements. what in there really strikes you as mean? (correct answer should be "nothing")I... um... none of those seem to be incredibly funny, TBH. More insulting, but not at all clever or biting.
heh this would be great. don't see it happening, but still.We need him in this show as well. Make it happen, Pierce's funeral!

It's too bad it didn't happen when the story actually would of made a precedence for it. There was that long arc where it looked like Pierce has become nonredeemable, but then they just sort swept that away.
fair enough, I guess. all I'm saying is, repeated cast and crew imbroglios aren't exactly a POSITIVE step.Pierce has been the least interesting/entertaining character for me since they started changing him to be the villain of the show. He has occasional bright spots... but nothing that couldn't have been done by someone else.
okay just have to correct this one: "would of" is so wrong. when you say that in real life you are saying "would've" a contraction of "would have". "would of" makes absolutely no sense at all.So true, it would of been perfect!
...what? do you...what?
What? Personally? I'm not sure where you're coming from with that one.I think it is hilarious that you are taking the firing of a cast member more personally than any of the writers.

They're Twitter jokes; I hold those to a lower standard than a polished stand-up act.I just expected the comments from the writers who worked with him personally and who work on a series that has had some of the best writing in television EVER, would do more than just say "Who should we get to replace Chevy? How about the head of the Westboro church? Or a rapist or child molester or something? LOL"

I don't understand how when Chang was discovered to be a FAKE teacher, all they had to do was bring in a real one to give them an exam.Rewatching season 1....
Completely forgot that Pierce saved the study group by sleeping with the replacement Spanish teacher
